Senkaku islands dispute between China and Japan ..

The dispute over five islands privately held by Japan which has passed over to Japanese govt has raised much hue and cry in both the countries over the past few months..

hope this does not precipitate into a state of confrontation between the two Asian powers, lest it pull the economic development of Asia down.. I am sure if not all, at least some of the Western forces would like to see that happen.
